Old Karate Techniques in MMA

I was recently asked to write an article for Ryan Parker Sensei, a long-time karateka, amateur (in the sense that he doesn't get paid to do it) researcher, and author of the Ryukyu Martial Arts blog. The article was to be on the trend of a few techniques from Okinawan martial arts showing up in MMA competition. More could be written, certainly, but these were just a few techniques that I wanted to highlight. Since some people on this forum might find it interesting, I figured I would share it, here.

Good read and in addition to Karate techniques used in MMA, one of the most underrated kicks which can be used to strike the liver or any parts of the body for that matter is Miza-zuki-Geri. Good stuff!!
